§ 54-43-5

54:43-5. Cancellation of sale or destruction of alcoholic beverages; credit or refund of tax Where a sale has been rescinded or canceled and the alcoholic beverages if delivered have been returned, or where alcoholic beverages have been destroyed under the supervision of the commissioner, as unfit for consumption, the taxpayer shall be entitled to a credit for the amount of the tax which would have accrued had the alcoholic beverages not been destroyed or the sale not been rescinded or canceled. If the tax has already been paid to the commissioner, the credit shall be applied against any present or future liability of the taxpayer, under this subtitle, and if there be no such liability the taxpayer shall be entitled to a refund of the tax so paid, unless the taxpayer is indebted to the State of New Jersey for taxes, penalties or interest which have accrued under any statute imposing a tax payable to or collectible by the commissioner. Amended by L.1938, c. 319, p. 802, s. 8a.
